Version 4.3.89 ?

[go-ten]

Hi,

This is not a problem, rather a request. Version 4 of master PDF was really perfect. Would we have the possibility to create a flatpak of version 4.3.89? Or is it totally unthinkable

Creating a flatpak: yes, that's probably relatively easy.

Hosting on Flathub: hm. I remember the policy as following upstream as closely as possible. So I guess that a legacy version needs a very strong case. But since you don't care about updates, I guess you'd be fine with flatpaking and running it for yourself.

thanks for the answer.

Yes, that's exactly it. I don't care about updates. I simply have no idea how to create a flatpak. At my level I have a .deb and a .rpm. I think it should be possible to find a .tar.gz.

There are a few flatpaks on flathub that use .debs: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aflathub+deb&type=code

With a tarball, though, it would probably be easier to use the existing flatpak.

seems they provide the old version: http://code-industry.net/public/master-pdf-editor-4.3.89_qt5.amd64.tar.gz

And now I understand, why it's more interesting. The app comes without restrictions. Yeah, maybe we can make a net.codeindustry.MasterPDFEditor4 flatpak.

You should be able to checkout the 4.3.89 branch and do a flatpak-builder --install-deps-from=flathub --user --install --ccache --keep-build-dirs --force-clean -v --repo=/var/tmp/fb.repo fpbuilder net.codeindustry.MasterPDFEditor.yaml.

Yes, that's exactly it. Version 4 is the last version without any restrictions. Here's what I did :

• I downloaded from github the .zip code for the 4.3.89 branch.
• launched the command : flatpak-builder --install-deps-from=flathub --user --install --ccache --keep-build-dirs --force-clean -v --repo=/var/tmp/fb.repo fpbuilder
• here is the error message :

Looks like he can't reach flathub.

Ok I manually installed from flathub the sdk (KDE 5.15). Now the installation has worked.

Thank you so much

just a small detail. Here is the logo of version 4

great! if you feel like, you can prepare a pull request against that branch. Maybe we can tune it so that it can be included as a separate app on Flathub.

Yes, that would be a good idea. I don't have good GitHub skills to edit a file like the image in a PR
